The Future of Humans Living in Space
55:41 - 1:03:00 (07:18)
The future of larger-scale gatherings of humans in space is actually going to be in microgravity, floating space cities, not so much trying to establish settlements on the surface. Being born in microgravity could change a child's ability to have intuition around an Earth-based 1G environment.

Floating space cities in microgravity could be the future of larger-scale gatherings of humans and far more practical than trying to establish settlements on the surface.

Summary
Floating space cities in microgravity could be the future of larger-scale gatherings of humans and far more practical than trying to establish settlements on the surface. The current political climate makes starting from scratch and building the sci-fi impossible at this time.
